BLYVOOR PROVISIONAL JUDICIAL MANAGEMENT ORDER LIFTED
‘Once again, a successful concern’
Johannesburg, South Africa. 13 April 2010. DRDGOLD announced today that the High Court of South
Africa has agreed to lift, with immediate effect, the provisional judicial management order in place in respect
of the Company’s 74%-owned subsidiary, Blyvooruitzicht Gold Mining Company Limited (“Blyvoor”) since 10
November 2009.

DRDGOLD CEO Niël Pretorius, in the Company’s application to the court for the lifting of the provisional
judicial management order, pointed out that:

            for the period November 2009 to February 2010, Blyvoor has traded at an unaudited profit of R33
             578 400;

            trade creditors at the time when the provisional judicial management order was granted have been
             reduced from R39 million to R2.17 million;

            monthly production of gold has increased from 272kg to 315kg;

            the gold price has increased from R240 000/kg to R265 000/kg.

Pretorius added that the four judicial managers appointed by the court supported its application for the lifting
of the provisional judicial management order, on condition that DRDGOLD’s provision of a R15 million facility
to Blyvoor, available from November 2009 but not accessed, remains in place.

“The provisional judicial management of Blyvoor has been a success; the Company is able to pay its debts
as and when they fall due for payment; it has turned the corner and is, once again, a successful concern,”
Pretorius said.

DRDGOLD applied for and was granted the provisional judicial management order in November 2009
following several months of increasing operational and financial stress experienced by Blyvoor as a
consequence of:

           a series of seismic events during May 2009 which caused a substantial drop in mining production;

           a 33% rate increase imposed by power utility Eskom during July 2009;

           a protracted labour strike; and

           a sharp decline in the gold price between February and May 2009, from R317 000/kg to R240
            000/kg.

The financial information provided in this announcement has not been reviewed or reported on by the
Company’s auditors.
